From Day 46 to Day 60 of 2020,
please join us in taking
The LOVE Challenge - GOD's WAY!
The Bible shares the definition of GOD's AGAPE LOVE in 1 Corinthians 13.
Throughout the Bible, the illustration of this AGAPE LOVE is JESUS.
So, each day from February 15-29,
let's plan to take a principle of AGAPE LOVE
and then look at something from JESUS' life,
here on earth, that illustrates it.
here on earth, that illustrates it.
LOVE is kind!
JESUS is kind!
There are so many examples of the kindness of JESUS throughout HIS life on earth. Let's consider that HE chose to die on the cross for all people, choosing not to revile back at them or defend HIMSELF. Here is one account of JESUS being crucified:
Mark 15:27-41
27- "With HIM they crucified two thieves, one on HIS right and the other on HIS left.
28- And the Scripture was fulfilled, which says, 'HE was numbered with the lawless ones.'
29- Those who passed by blasphemed HIM, shaking their heads and saying, 'Ah, YOU WHO would destroy the temple and build it in three days.
30- save YOURSELF and come down from the cross!'
31- Likewise the chief priest mocked HIM among themselves with the scribes and said, 'HE saved others, but HE cannot save HIMSELF!
32- Let the CHRIST, the KING OF ISRAEL, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe.' Those who were crucified with HIM also reviled HIM.
33- When the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth drink, saying, 'Leave HIM alone. Let us see if Elijah will come and take HIM down.'
37- But JESUS cried with a loud voice and gave up the spirit.
38- And the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
39- When the centurion who stood facing HIM saw that HE cried out and gave up the spirit, he said, 'Truly this MAN was the SON OF GOD.'
40- There were also women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joseph, and Salome.
41- They also had followed HIM and had ministered to HIM when HE was in Galilee. And many other women who came up with HIM to Jerusalem were there."
